Star (football Crest) on the Shirt- What Does it Mean???

Note that some clubs have stars on their crests that do not signify any particular titles. The crest of Pearol of Uruguay has 11 stars for the 11 players, and a twelfth is to be added for the supporters, the “12th Man”. Manchester City’s crest has three stars, to give it a “more continental feel”. Standardised significance The first team to adopt a star was Juventus, who added one above their crest in 1958 to represent their tenth Serie A title. This was an extension of the existing convention by which the reigning champions are entitled to display the scudetto on their shirts for the following season. The star was later formally adopted as a symbol for ten titles. The Turkish league introduced a similar scheme in 2000, with one star per five titles. In the Bundesliga in Germany, a standardised star system was introduced in 2004 called Verdiente Meistervereine (roughly “disti birmingham womens rugby nguished champion clubs”). It has a sliding scale of 1, 2, and 3 stars for 3, 5, and 10 titles. This controversially excludes champions from before the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963, and from the East German League. In November 2005, the German FA allowed all former champions playing outside the Bundesliga (the top 2 divisions) to display a single star inscribed with the number of titles[2]. Not all clubs abide by this decision. Since 2006, all clubs currently playing in the Swedish premier league that have won ten or more championships have added a star above their crest. IFK Norrkping, have ten titles but no star, as they are currently playing in a lower division. Major League Soccer’s previously informal system, one star per MLS Cup title, was standardised in 2006, with the exception that defending champions will wear the MLS Scudetto for one season before adding a new star.
